Festival launches new CineLink award.
UK-Irish director Mark Cousins will receive the honorary Heart of Sarajevo award at the 29th Sarajevo Film Festival this summer (August 11-18).
The festival will hold a special screening of Cousins’ 2022 documentary March On Rome, as part of its Dealing With The Past strand.
Cousins previously visited the city when it was under siege during the 1990s, alongside representatives from Edinburgh International Film Festival. They showed films in support of the residents of the city, at the Obala Art Centar cinema that became the birthplace of the festival.
The experience “showed me why movies matter”, says Cousins.
